Awards

Masters of Taste

The most awarded Italian distillery

Today, more than 75 years after it was founded, the Roner family stands for Italy's most awarded distillery. Our products stand out in the most internationally renowned tasting competitions. But perhaps more important than these awards are the satisfaction and loyalty of our guests.

Evaluated by master distillers and experts

All distillates are first evaluated by appearance, that is, color and clarity. Then comes the sensory: the fragrance, purity and typicality. Finally, the taste: the harmony of flavors, the sensations on the palate, the aftertaste.

A big compliment and thank you to master distiller Helmut Oberhofer and his team, which with great sensitivity and passion brings out the frangrance and taste of the fruit and grape marc in an incredibly intense way in every bottle.

First award-winning Amaro from South Tyrol

World Spirits Award

Of all international competitions, the WSA is certainly one of the highest-quality spirits awards with highly qualified tasters and the world's top league of distilleries.

The K32 Amaro is based on a secret recipe from alpine medicinal herbs. Its rich and fascinating bouquet of bitter notes, rounded off by fresher and pleasantly sweet sensations, convinced the jury.

Roner is the first distillery from South Tyrol to win gold at the World Spirits Award for its Amaro.
